Matchförutsägelse: MIBR - Iron Blood Gaming | Counter-Strike (CS2)

In one of the quarterfinal battles of the first gaming day of the playoffs of the ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America. MIBR is obviously and objectively the clear favorite of the confrontation here. According to experts from bookmakers, the team's chances of winning are 79%, which is equivalent to a coefficient of 1.18. I, like many bettors, believe that betting on winning in this case is somewhat unprofitable, although it is still not without risk. Let's look for another good option in order to make the bet more interesting and profitable, and the risk was not too big.

The 63 world team with a Droid doesn't inspire much confidence in me, unlike MIBR. The team last took part in matches on the professional stage at the end of September within the same ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America. Then, in the group stage, the team won the fight against Victorum, BHOP and Task Force 141, but could not defeat Vendetta. In addition, the team also took part in ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 1 North America at the end of September, where they took 1st place, however, one can hardly be proud of such a result, since, with the exception of Mythic, they were not opposed by strong teams. Lack of experience in playing against teams of a stronger echelon will most likely play its role in the fight against MIBR. The team plays well on Mirage, Vertigo and Inferno, which was noticeable in those matches that ended in victory for Iron Blood.

The arsenal of cards consists of three places where they perform quite well. On Mirage, Vertigo and Inferno, the roster won 72.7%, 66.7% and 60% of the time. In the case of Overpass, Ancient and Nuke, the team has a win rate of 57.!%, 50% and 20% respectively. It is worth noting that they played 11 times on Mirage, 6 times on Vertigo, and 5 times on Inferno. This reflects the reality and objectivity of the assessment of the Iron Blood team's map pool.

MIBR uniform

MIBR are superior to their opponents in almost every aspect. They are among the top 30 CS:GO rosters in the world according to HLTV and are ranked 27th. The roster appeals to me and consists of Brazilians like HEN1, brnz4n and others. MIBR also have impressive experience in the Tier-1 scene and the recent IEM Road to Rio 2022 showed it. They were able to break into the American division and defeat one opponent there. Although the team did not achieve great success there and took 12-14th place in the end, however, unlike Iron Blood, the team has repeatedly played against strong opponents and will be ready to fight with their next opponents. As part of the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Americas RMR, the Brazilians managed to defeat only their countrymen from O PLANO, but in the fight against Team Liquid, ATK and Isurus Gaming they were defeated, although sometimes they showed a strong fight. In a Bo1 match with Liquid, they dragged the game to overtime, and Isurus managed to take one card. As a separate point, I would like to note that MIBR is perhaps the main favorite of this tournament and for the entire time of participation in the ESL Challenger League Season 42 North America, the team lost only 1 map and won all 7 confrontations.

Overpass and Nuke are the best MIBR maps. There, the team performs with a win rate of 75% and 72.7%, respectively. The team also shows a good game on Inferno, Ancient and Dust 2, where the percentage of wins is 66.7%, 66.7% and 61.5%. This is bad news for Iron Blood, since they lose to their opponents in the map pool and MIBR will probably ban their beloved Mirage, which means the team will have to play on other maps where the Brazilians also feel confident.

Conclusion

MIBR is the main favorite of the ongoing event and the clear favorite of this confrontation. The team will certainly win and I'm almost sure that the team will do it without losing a single card to their opponents. Their map pool is stronger than that of Iron Blood, their roster is more powerful, and the experience of playing against Tier-1 opponents allowed them to temper and prepare for this meeting.

Bookmakers give a fairly juicy odds of 1.69 for the exact score in favor of MIBR. I think this is worth taking advantage of. The risks are not so great, and the profitability promises to be good.

Final bet: MIBR to win with a score of 2-0 at odds of 1.69
